Summer Carnival Hollyhock Seeds: Tall Cottage Garden Blooms - 50 Seeds

Introduction
Alcea rosea ‘Summer Carnival Mix’ is a striking biennial variety known for its tall, elegant spikes adorned with single or semi-double blooms in a lively mix of colors — including red, pink, yellow, white, and purple. Perfect for adding vertical interest to borders, cottage gardens, and backyard landscapes, these hollyhocks attract pollinators and provide a stunning display from midsummer through early fall. Easy to grow and hardy, Summer Carnival Mix brings classic charm and long-lasting color to any garden.

Seed Sowing Instructions
Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in early spring or fall in mild climates. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil, maintaining a temperature of 65–70°F. Germination usually occurs within 10–14 days. Thin or transplant seedlings to 18–24 inches apart once they are established to allow room for mature growth. While hollyhocks may bloom the first year if started early indoors, they typically reach full flowering potential in their second year.

Plant Care Instructions
Hollyhocks thrive in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Tall plants may need staking for support. Remove spent flowers to encourage longer blooming and prevent excessive self-seeding. Resistant to most pests and diseases, Summer Carnival Mix is ideal for cottage gardens, background plantings, and borders. Its tall, colorful spikes create a dramatic focal point and vibrant summer display.
